Edit any text content directly on the page with this intuitive tool from DevTools Suite. Click to edit headings, paragraphs, links, and more - perfect for previewing content changes.
Edit Web Content Like a Document
Live Text Editor transforms any webpage into an editable document. Click on any text element - headings, paragraphs, links, buttons, list items - and start typing. Changes appear instantly, letting you preview content updates, test copy variations, or prepare mockups without touching source code.
Key Features
Everything you need for quick content editing
One-Click Text Editing
Click any text element to make it instantly editable. Supports headings (H1-H6), paragraphs, links, list items, table cells, buttons, blockquotes, labels, and spans.
Visual Element Highlighting
Blue dashed outline highlights editable text elements as you hover. Solid outline and subtle background indicate when an element is in edit mode.
Precise Cursor Placement
Advanced cursor positioning places your text cursor exactly where you click within the text - not just at the beginning or end. Uses native caret positioning API.
Escape to Cancel
Press Escape while editing to cancel changes and restore original content. Your original text is preserved until you explicitly save by clicking outside.
Auto-Save on Click Out
Changes are automatically saved when you click outside the element. No save button needed - just click elsewhere to commit your edits.
Safe Link Editing
Edit link text without triggering navigation. Smart detection prevents accidental page changes while allowing full text editing of anchor elements.
Multi-Line Support
Shift+Enter adds line breaks within elements while editing. Create multi-line content naturally without leaving edit mode.
Empty Element Cleanup
Automatically removes elements that become empty to prevent orphaned empty tags. Clean DOM structure maintained throughout editing.
Helpful Toast Notifications
Brief instructional overlay on first load shows how to use the tool. "Click on any text element to edit it" - auto-dismisses after 2 seconds.
Smart Element Filtering
Validates elements before allowing editing - must have visible text content. Skips form inputs and textareas (already editable by default).
Live Changes
See edits immediately reflected on the page as you type. Real-time visual feedback makes content testing quick and intuitive.
No External Dependencies
Uses native browser APIs only - no external libraries loaded. Lightweight and fast with minimal performance impact on the page.
Click to Edit
Seamless inline editing - click any text and start typing immediately.
Instant Preview
Changes appear in real-time - see exactly how new copy will look.
Easy Cancel
Press Escape to restore original text - safe experimentation.
